"Arming Domestic Terrorists"

Total hyperbole.

[TeeDub]

Looks to me like they are arming the citizenry who keep you safe.

Oh thank you TeeDub!  Thank you so much!  You have a gun, I feel so much safer knowing that!
You're a TRUE AMERICAN HERO!!! 
TEEDUB TEEDUB TEEDUB
BIG UPS TO THE TEEMAN! 
Whoops I just teed my pants.

Um, this isn't new news. This has been going on since they passed the Brady bill almost 20 years ago.

I don't know where this came from....  Too much sugar?

But I don't see how making more laws is going to stop criminals from being criminals.  All this is going to do is make honest people go through more work.   (To give you an example, has making anyone present an ID to buy sudafed accomplished anything to help stop the meth labs anywhere?   No, it just makes it a pain in the donkey when you get a cold.)

By definition criminals have no respect for the laws now.   More laws won't make it any better.

The problem here is that the ones that are not supposed to buy guns (i.e. the guy that shot up his girlfriends house a few years ago), are skirting the law through these venues.  I can see the concerns with this.  However, using the title of "Arming Domestic Terrorists" is just idiotic.

If gun shows get the clamp-down on this, people who are not supposed to own firearms will still find a way to buy them, steal them, borrow them, or otherwise get them into their possession.  Closing this "loop-hole" would only make for one more inconvenience for law-abiding citizens, like buying Sudafed. 

Personally, I don't like the idea of the government compiling data on how many guns and how much ammo a person owns.  I don't think it's their business.  That's the reason a lot of law-abiding people buy only from individual collectors at gun shows and not the dealers.  There's a fear that the government can track down guns if there were to eventually be a gun ban.  I know total paranoid tin-foil hat stuff, but that's the logic behind it for anyone reading who does not own a firearm and would never think of owning one.

Oh, FWIW- I've managed to get by without Sudafed just fine. 

[Hawkins]

Gun Shows arm terrorists now??

Wow, 9/11 was a complete and utter victory for the Arabs. Now we've turned on our own citizenry under the umbrella of going after "terrorists."

I hate 9/11 so much.

[cannon_fodder]

If we outright banned all sales of guns except by any entity BUT the government, 9/11 still would have happened.  So where's the tire in?  It doesn't really make sense.

When one of these groups goes on a kill crazy rampage, then try to sell this crap to me.  Until then there is no way the threat of some group possibly some day posing some kind of a threat to someone balances out the loss of freedom.  When the hell did we become so willing to trade freedoms for the illusion of security?

The TSA screener can see naked images of you because it keeps us safe.
You can't buy cold pills because some asshat might make drugs.
You can't buy that gun because some other idiot might possibly commit a crime with it.


I agree.  Violent offenders should not be allowed to own firearms for a very long time.  People with drug problems the same.  Enforce the rules we have in place, take guns away from criminals, and keep the public "safe".   

But stop making rules that have no real effect on their intended target.  It makes people who have no real clue feel safer while taking a little more liberty away from everyone else.  It's because of the "security over freedom at all costs" attitude that I have to surrender my finger nail clippers and bottle of water while taking my shoes off so some TSA idiot can take a look at a scanned image of my junk.  Do any of those things do anything to ever prevent any crime?  No, at least not according to any evidence ever submitted.

But damn do I feel safe at an airport now.

Same logic for guns.  It won't actually help the situation at all, but man will it make me feel safe . . .

Just like condoms can make you feel safe and feel less...

There's an army being armed...and it ain't patriots like they think.

so if what you are saying is true, then making it harder for patriots to get weapons is going to help stop the so called bad guys how?
